[TheForge] bending forks

[marc at ironringforge.com]

I've got one of those Harbor Freight benders. The dies are 5/8" ID, so my
bending fork uses 5/8" rod welded to one of those old flea market adjustable
wrenches. If I need a different bend radius, I just use one of the HF 
dies. And
the wrench clamps very nicely in the vise.
